You stayed here and didn't eat ?!! Not even an ice-cream ? Or was this in the days before you became an addict ? Nice pictures though ;-)

Sue, the Pont d'Avignon is an amazing structure! It is great that it has survived even this well over all these centuries!! Thanks for this little glimpse into the wonders of France. Looks like I had better get moving to see for myself!
